Contributions to the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation will support osteopaths through grants, scholarships and awards for osteopathic students, researchers and programs of study in osteopathy.

Who is the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation?

The Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation is composed of osteopaths and people interested in the field of osteopathy. We believe that encouraging constant reflection on education and research is fundamental to improving the care of our patients and supporting our profession and those who practice it. By providing financial support to the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation, donors are helping the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation to do just that.

How does the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation work?

The Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors. It oversees all policies, programs and operations of the Swiss Osteopathy Science Foundation. It is composed of 7 directors. The majority of the voting members must be osteopaths.
